Oh, do not get me wrong.

GtkHTML is just a lightweight HTML rendering engine that does not
support CSS, so we need it to look decent for those of us that will be
using the documentation in our day-to-day work on Linux.

The Web-based interfaces lack the agility that you get from a native GUI
tool to browse your documentation.  

I have no problems if we take later the scripts and generate a full
documentation set that is web-browsable (in fact, it might just be part
of the process), but we need a command-line and GUI tools that we can
use natively on Linux when disconnected from the Web (and that has
better interactions than a web page).
